So, I'm getting caught up on my current events and see that Little Richard has had a heart attack.  Now, while I remember him being "up in age" while I was a kid, for some reason, I never imagined Little Richard getting older. In my mind, he was stuck around 50-something and still jumping around while playing the piano.  Of course, the article captured my interest, and I decided to read it.  But I had to take a pause after the first line in the second paragraph.

Surely, Little Richard has made more hits than "Tutti Frutti," and I'm sure most of know who he is without mention of any songs he's made. Was the "Tutti Frutti" line really necessary? And further reading the article, I learned something about Little Richard that I'd never known before: He has a son! Who knew???

In this video, I had to look twice to make sure I wasn't seeing things. I almost thought he was Prince.

By the time he got to this one, his hair had fallen.

Never the less, I'm sending up prayers to Little Richard.... And his son.
